Shielded vs. Unshielded Control Cables: An Expert Guide for Industrial Applications

There is no universal “better” option—only the most suitable one for your specific application.

Choose Shielded Control Cable​ for performance and reliability in electrically noisy industrial settings. It’s an investment in signal integrity and system stability.

Choose Unshielded Control Cable​ for cost efficiency and simplicity in controlled, low-interference environments.

Structure and Material Composition

The construction of a control cable is optimized for flexible, multi-circuit signal transmission and protection against interference.

Conductor:​ Typically made of copper for superior conductivity, though aluminum may be used. The conductor cross-sections are relatively small, ranging from 0.5 mm² to 10 mm². A defining feature is the high number of cores, commonly from 2 to 61 cores, packed into a single cable to manage multiple control circuits efficiently.

Insulation:​ Individual conductors are insulated, usually with Polyvinyl Chloride (PVC)​ or Cross-Linked Polyethylene (XLPE). This layer provides essential electrical isolation between the cores.

Shielding (Optional):​ For environments with significant electromagnetic interference (EMI) from nearby power cables or heavy machinery, a copper tape or braided shield​ is often added. This shield protects the sensitive control signals from distortion, ensuring signal integrity.

Armouring (Optional):​ For cables installed in harsh environments, directly buried, or requiring extra mechanical protection, a steel wire or tape armour​ layer is applied. This guards against crushing, impact, and rodent damage.

Outer Sheath:​ The final protective layer is a durable PVC​ sheath. It provides overall mechanical strength, resistance to abrasion, oils, and chemicals, ensuring long-term reliability in industrial settings.
